Its a pity.

Hopefully the losers of the game dont use it as an excuse but it could favor munster in the scrum and the stormers in the loose if its slows up the game and stops munster moving their pack around the place.

Time will tell, but looking at the Premership final in a pristine twickenham the grass is doing the occasion a disservice

Went back and watched the URC match from April last night.

Pros:

Scrum held up absolutely fine
Linespeed really bothered them
Picked our moments to compete at the breakdown
Won 2-3 of their lineouts

Cons:

Libbok missed at least 8 gimmie points
Their scrum did manage to turn the screw when it really mattered
If they can get it wide, they're lethal
They didn't have Fourie that day

Make no mistakes, this can't be a low-scoring game. Go for tries whenever they present.

Breakdown will be fascinating. Get the edge there, and it's coming home.

SUAF

Neil3030 · 27-05-2023 5:31pm

Jesus F'n Christ that's some atmosphere.

snotboogie · 27-05-2023 5:38pm

Awful attempt at a pass that was never on and forward too

Former Former Former · 27-05-2023 5:38pm

Ffs. Madness from Frisch

AbusesToilets · 27-05-2023 5:38pm

Crowley's kicking not been great so far. Disaster of a (forwward) pass there

Eoinbmw · 27-05-2023 5:39pm

Turn that fecking Mic off in the stand tg4

theVersatile · 27-05-2023 5:39pm

It's like he thought he had advantage.

Not an ideal start

Ref had his hand out briefly i taught

as he nails that kick lol

I assumed he still had advantage.

Neil3030 · 27-05-2023 5:42pm

What. A. Kick.

That'll hopefully steady Crowley's nerves.

theVersatile · 27-05-2023 5:43pm

Lovely stuff - all from a brilliant (or lucky, never sure with ones that are that close) penalty from Crowley.

theVersatile · 27-05-2023 5:46pm

Adamson not calling Daly initially in touch there was hilarious.

The cynic in me thinks Calvin might have been away on the right wing there if we were playing on a better pitch, but alas, uncontrollables.

AbusesToilets · 27-05-2023 5:48pm

Excellent call by the ref there on that maul set up

Ardillaun · 27-05-2023 5:49pm

Pitch looking fairly agricultural already.

theVersatile · 27-05-2023 5:53pm

Frisch is finding some nice soft shoulders but we need guys coming off his shoulder for the offload.

If Crowley finished that I'd be fully convinced he was the Messiah.

Neil3030 · 27-05-2023 5:55pm

Well I mean, it wouldn't Saturday unless Coombes scores from 5 out.

Eoinbmw · 27-05-2023 5:56pm

That's bullshite

Dave_The_Sheep · 27-05-2023 5:57pm

I mean there's a small delay, but it's one placement of the ball. Harsh call.

TheRona · 27-05-2023 5:57pm

I hate how the TMO won't go against the ref. I really felt like he thought that was a fair try, but he didn't say.

AbusesToilets · 27-05-2023 5:57pm

bit harsh there, but his elbow was down before he moved to place the ball

Larbre34 · 27-05-2023 5:58pm

Rode rock solid without the comfort of lube there.

Burkie1203 · 27-05-2023 5:59pm

Technically right call but its one that's a bit harsh

clsmooth · 27-05-2023 6:00pm

Unfortunate there for Coombes. Andrea Piardi has been excellent so far. Like the way he talks with the players rather than at them.

theVersatile · 27-05-2023 6:02pm

Think it needs to be looked at at full speed to determine whether there's actually a second propulsion.

It's a reach and a try for me, but I won't feel outraged over it

FrancieBrady · 27-05-2023 6:02pm

Munster will exhaust themselves here. Hard work and not getting a return. Hopefully they won’t get picked off in 2nd half

Clegg · 27-05-2023 6:02pm

Leinster did a job against Stormers a few months ago with their kicking game.

Pretty poor from Stormers coaches that they still haven't sorted their issues.

Eoinbmw · 27-05-2023 6:03pm

Another harsh call there!

Burkie1203 · 27-05-2023 6:05pm

Forward pass by a mile there.

Clegg · 27-05-2023 6:05pm

That's well forward out of the hands from POM.

Eoinbmw · 27-05-2023 6:05pm

Look at that tackle on peter before the pass

TheRona · 27-05-2023 6:05pm

Forward pass from POM. Shame.

clsmooth · 27-05-2023 6:05pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120647624#Comment_120647624

Not for me. Player momentum. Need a view of ball leaving hands

ednwireland · 27-05-2023 6:06pm

just turned on, when are the spuds going to ready on that pitch ?

snotboogie · 27-05-2023 6:06pm

O Mahonys pass was forward but Frisch didn’t even come close to knocking the ball on. An absolutely bizarre call

LostArt · 27-05-2023 6:06pm

Jesus Munster are getting zero luck this evening

TheRona · 27-05-2023 6:06pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120647631#Comment_120647631

It wasn't backwards from the hands.

A-Train · 27-05-2023 6:06pm

Hopefully all these chances and pressure doesn’t come back on Munster. Need to convert all this pressure to points.

27-05-2023 6:06pm

It's yards forward tbf.

AbusesToilets · 27-05-2023 6:07pm

lovely effort from POM there mind

Eoinbmw · 27-05-2023 6:07pm

Peter got a shoulder to head in making that forward pass

clsmooth · 27-05-2023 6:07pm

On second view it leaves the hands forward. Unfortunate again.

Burkie1203 · 27-05-2023 6:07pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120647631#Comment_120647631

It was a clear forward pass.

TomsOnTheRoof · 27-05-2023 6:07pm

Thought the hit by Willemse as the ball left POM's hands could have been looked at there.

theVersatile · 27-05-2023 6:07pm

Surprised he didn't look at Willemse's hit on O'Mahony. I know he's falling into it but still think it's questionable.

Clegg · 27-05-2023 6:08pm

Stormers really don't get much dominance from their scrum, despite their world class props.

Ardillaun · 27-05-2023 6:09pm

Richly deserved.

clsmooth · 27-05-2023 6:09pm

Munster by far the better team. Stormers have shown some good linespeed but nothing in attack aside from the intercept.

Great try!

FrancieBrady · 27-05-2023 6:09pm

Brilliant score
